#Fukushima, comme #Tchernobyl mais à vitesse réduite
The problem is that Fukushima’s slow bleed of radiation is going to continue for a good period of time to come. Reactors are normally kept cool by recirculated water, but at Fukushima, the circulation system has been heavily damaged, and the only solution is to simply dump tons of water onto the cores. The water absorbs radioactive isotopes like caesium-137, and itself becomes a big waste problem. Moreover pictures from as recently as 10 April show steam continuing to rise from the reactors.
This seepage in the form of water, dust and steam is creating slow-motion Chernobyl at Fukushima Daiichi
